There is a non-zero chance that if you press it, you become smarter enough to realize you shouldn’t have pressed it…
Actually a lot of chance if you’re the only one pushing it
ignorance is bliss
Ignorance is being trapped in a maze. Intelligence is flying above the walls of the maze
i wish my understanding of how fucked we really are gave me flying superpowers.
ignorance is not knowing how you are trapped.
Acceptance is calling a corner of the maze home.
On another note, I have an idea for a minecraft world
The smarter you are the less happy you are. Fuck that button.
Bullshit
If you say so.
Ignorance is bliss
Intelligence begets depression.
Oh bullshit
Well, I’ve never seen a depressed brick
I thought the only smart move was to not play?
Oh, wait, that’s Global Thermonuclear War.
And blackjack
and hookers!
And stock options.
Dividend reinvestment, index funds, and someone in charge not trying to steal all our money.
That used to be the secret recipe
Sir, can I introduce you to depression?
Replace button with book and press with read and yup.
Reading is overrated.
Sounds like you better get busy on building that ensmartering button then, because exposure to knowledge through books and other educational media is the only way I know of to become smarter. I suppose healthy living facilitates the process greatly, as well.
That’s just your level of smartness talking.
The catch is, you lose empathy the smarter you become.
You’ve just become Hitler 2.0
Why wouldn’t the button increase emotional intelligence as well? Losing empathy as you learn more doesn’t sound smart to me.
